The Cameroon MMA star was a guest on JAke Paul's podcast and he didn't hesitate to call out 'The Problem Child'
'Problem Child' Jake Paul must've forgotten that Mike Tyson was right there on Francis Ngannou's corner when he fought Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. There is no way he will ever side with the YouTuber knowing that ike always had his back. In a sense, 'Iron Mike' felt a little like a trainer while he taught Francis a few of his own tricks. When he fought Fury, some of those tricks seemed to work as Ngannou humbled the British boxer despite losing the fight. Ngannou also happens to be the face of the Professional Fighters league (PFL), which is co-owned by Jake Paul. But that doesn't matter for Francis, he will still speak his mind despite everything and he thinks there is only one clear winner here.
Francis Ngannou's shocking Tyson v Paul prediction
During Jake Paul's podcast, the host asked Francis if Mike could beat him. He said: "Yeah, I do [think he'll beat your ass]. Listen, I have seen Tyson move around just to show me stuff. He was like, 'This footwork moves like this,' and I was like hold on, like, calm down (laughs). He's still got it. Either way, I think Mike Tyson will beat you up. We're talking about Mike, bro. Mike is something else. He's a specimen. Mike will move from this side to this side without you knowing at exactly which moment. Everything [you have to watch out for]. Knowing Mike, I just believe that Mike will beat him. It's not betting against him, it's just what it is. If he would have been in another circumstance, I'd be like, 'Okay, let's go, Jake.' But this I'm like, 'Bro, let's be real.'"
But Jake Paul's friends from the podcast kept trying to bring up arguments in Jake Paul's defense, who has been getting ready for a fight like this since he started this boxing journey. Plus, physically he is at the peak of his form. Mike Tyson is already pushing 60. Francis Ngannou probably thinks about the same argument a lot of people use to describe Mike Tyson. Despite his age, Mike Tyson is still a wild lion who is waiting to get out of his cage. If he smells blood, those who know boxing are perfectly aware that Jake Paul would be done for.
